Coffee-Break Muffins

Death by caffeine . That's what I called these muffins :D One of the best and easiest recipe to date . I added some chocolate at the top coz I still have these ( melted ) truffle chocolates that's been sitting inside the fridge for a month ? or 2 :P Recipe from Baking : From My Home to Yours

* Preheat oven to 400°F
* Butter or spray the 12 molds in a regular-size muffin tin or fit the molds with muffin cups . Place muffin tin on a baking sheet.
* In a large bowl , whisk together the flour , sugar , espresso powder , baking powder , cinnamon and salt;
Stir in brown sugar , making sure there are no lumps .
* In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl , whisk the coffee , melted butter , egg and vanilla extract together until well combined .
* Pour the liqiud ingredients over the dry ingredients , with the whisk or rubber spatula , gently but quickly stir to blend . Don't worry about being thorough , a few lumps are better than overmixing the batter .
* Divide batter evenly among the muffin cups.
* Bake for about 20 minutes or until a thin knife inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean .
* Transfer the pan to a rack and cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing each muffin.
